Oh! I see where the miscommunication is. Gotcha.
OK. Basically, I call for a "loser pays" system of Common Law as regards lawsuits. No Lawyers, just the two parties, their witnesses, a Judge and a Jury. It's how things in the US were routinely handled up until the 1840s. This keeps Rich Bitch from being able to steamroll Poor Pedro with 8 lawyers, and keeps things impartial.
Essentially, it comes down to personal responsibility. If I knowingly create a minefield which is a hazard, and it kills someone, my Negligence resulted in an Initiation Of Force when the person in question stepped on my landmine. It could be argued that this does not extend to criminals, under any circumstances; a view which I partially support but which in my opinion leaves far too much room for someone to wiggle out of a Manslaughter case resulting from their improperly-marked bobytrap, tiger-pit, or minefield.
